Manchester City has had a £41 million ($53.30 million) bid for Bournemouth central defender Nathan Ake accepted by the relegated south coast team, the Bournemouth Echo reported on Thursday.
Bournemouth was relegated from the Premier League on Sunday and Ake is one of the players who were expected to move in order to continue playing in the top flight.
The 25-year-old Dutch defender was part of Chelsea's youth system and loaned out to Bournemouth before signing for the Cherries for £20 million in June 2017.
